Long Bio

Kristy McCaffrey has been writing since she was very young, but it wasn’t until she was a stay-at-home mom that she considered becoming published. A fascination with science led her to earn two engineering degrees—she did her undergraduate work at Arizona State University and her graduate studies at the University of Pittsburgh—but storytelling was always her favorite hobby. An Arizona native, she writes Old West romances to capture the landscapes that were such a big part of her childhood. Her first novel,The Wren, was a CAPA winner for Best New Author Traditional, a Texas Gold finalist, and a HOLT Medallion finalist for Best First Book.The Sparrowwas the 2012 Winter Rose Winner in the Published Historical Division.The Blackbirdwon the 2015 Laramie award for Best in Western Romance. And The Bluebird was a 2017 RONE nominee in the historical category. Kristy will soon be venturing into contemporary adventure romance with the release of Deep Blue, featuring a marine biologist studying great white sharks. This book will launch a new series that combines her love of animal conservation, environmental awareness, and high adventure, while showcasing honorable heroes, determined heroines, and Kristy’s trademark mysticism. Kristy and her husband live in the Arizona desert where they frequently remove (rescue) rattlesnakes from their property. Her four children have nearly all flown the nest, so her two chocolate labs—Ranger and Lily—are the recipients of her maternal instincts these days. Visit her online at www.kristymccaffrey.com.
